Very Small Steps

Darwin's Children, Greg Bear, 2004^This is a story about mutant children, or are they evolving humans?

in "A Short Biological Primer" at the end of the book, Bear discusses viruses and DNA:

It is possible that viruses originally came from segments of DNA within cells that can move around, both inside and between choromosomes. Viruses are essentially roving segments of genetic material that have learned how to "put on spacesuits" and leave the cell. (p479)

About Me

First things first, that's not a picture of me, although it could be any one of us. It's a painting by Alex Grey.
Next, the blog Limbic Signal is an extension of my book Hidden Scents, and the blog Network Address is a personal archive that I like to keep online for easy access.
Last, I'm a thirty-something male from Suburbia, New Jersey, a high school visual arts instructor, independent researcher, and writer.
Hidden Scents The Language of Smell in the Age of Approximation is my first attempt at authoring a work of non-fiction, and serves as a response to the dearth of information on the topic of Smell.
